FINDING GOD! Steve Bannon Surviving Jail With ‘Spiritual Exercises’FINDING GOD! Steve Bannon Surviving Jail With ‘Spiritual Exercises’

Probably St. Thomas Aquinas or St. Ignatius Loyola. St. Ignatius’s spiritual exercises are pretty rigorous, which is why the old school Jesuits were all brilliant men.

In Defense of Q – We Were Never Told to Sit Still

Leaked Trump/RFK Jr. Call Shows Path to Unity!

There are so many differing opinions on this “leak” it might be worth letting this play out before jumping to conclusions.

1 In 10 K-12 Students Has Been Sexually Abused By A Teacher

The rate of sexual misconduct in public schools far exceeds the high-profile abuse scandals that rocked the Roman Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America.

DP – that still doesn’t excuse it. I’ve come across info on the Church that puts the whole Scandal in a new light, and explains a lot. Minor seminaries, especially those that were boarding schools, were the prepping grounds.

WHOA: Young Voters Abandoning the Dems in Droves

Hence why Clyburn is hell bent on using the churches to keep the kids on the reservation.

Romney boils with loathing for Trump’s choice of running mate, J.D. Vance

Well alrighty, then. Maybe Trump chose wisely after all.

Darren Beattie just asked the mind-blowing million-dollar question about the Trump shooter…

President Trump receives flood of surprising endorsements after shooting—one group is particularly interesting…

X Files….

Leaked why?

He’s like a dog with a bone.

And it’s really not that expensive.

Better late than never. We’ll take ’em.

Have a good day y’all.

(I don’t remember who brought this to a daily in the comments, but thanks.)

And, of course, the obligatory George Carlin:

Per the Boss:

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone

Please, stock up on blanks for celebratory gunfire, be ready to swing from the chandeliers…and no messing with the nuclear weapons.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there. The “Rescue Thread” is also over there. In the event a rendezvous of the tree is needed, please check it out, as well as the newest rescue venue.

Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

One other vital note:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

ISAIAH 10:5-7, 13-16

5Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger, the staff of my fury! 6Against a godless nation I send him, and against the people of my wrath I command him, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7But he does not so intend, and his mind does not so think; but it is in his mind to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few; 13For he says: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding; I have removed the boundaries of peoples, and have plundered their treasures; like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones. 14My hand has found like a nest the wealth of the peoples; and as men gather eggs that have been forsaken so I have gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved a wing, or opened the mouth, or chirped.” 15Shall the axe vaunt itself over him who hews with it, or the saw magnify itself against him who wields it? As if a rod should wield him who lifts it, or as if a staff should lift him who is not wood! 16Therefore the Lord, the LORD of hosts, will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors, and under his glory a burning will be kindled, like the burning of fire.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, first responders and those working behind the scenes…and any and all people with family members in the hospital, COVID or not.

And…members of the QTree who no longer participate for one reason or another.

It is quite clear, as per Wolf’s message from July, that we are under spiritual attack. Building up a robust arsenal of prayer and discipline is a must in fighting the enemy and his minions.

In that spirit, the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel from Tuesday’s threads, and the Breastplate of St. Patrick, not to mention the Litany of Humility are favorites recommended by exorcists in spiritual warfare.
